Listening to different political viewpoints can be good. I make sure to do so myself on many occasions.
However, the criticisms regarding this film raised in other comments and linked articles appear to be valid. It concerns me that you have repeatedly dismissed these objections as "slander", even before watching the film according to your own words.
You don't have to agree with someone's politics to work together on common ground, of course. And a film with a message may be worth watching even or especially if it challenges your views. But the film's agenda cannot be concealed.
The Verge article, for example, made no bones about its political views but also raised factual concerns about the film. It is also a fact, as others have pointed out, that the writer and director of this film, M.A. Taylor, also worked on political films such as Hype: The Obama Effect (which detailed "various questions about Barack Obama's past") and co-directed Clinton Cash along with former Brietbart chairman Steve Bannon: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3379741/
To expand on this, you are likely to do favors for people you know even if it will harm other groups. This happens a lot. There are conspiracy theories galore about big governments and their level of organization to keep the populace out-of-the-loop, but I think it just comes down to rich people who know each other and help each other out at the expense of out-groups. It's an organic process, and not really organized in a strict sense. The Clinton foundation is a good example of this (watch the Clinton Cash documentary).
watch the documentary Clinton Cash and you'll understand the whole Clinton is corrupt thing.
I watched a documentary called Clinton Cash[1] that provided some correlations to explore, pertaining the Clintons' speaking fees.
